message 121: by Megan (new)

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just finished my first book - Beartown by Fredrik Backman. I did not expect that the author of the charming Ove could pen such a brilliant, unequivocal, scathing rebuke of patriarchal society. And yet, he delivers it with charm and love for his setting and characters. Truly brilliant! Definitely worth reading! 5 stars
